From the bestselling author of The Storyteller’s Secret and Trail of Broken Wings comes an unflinching exploration of betrayal, forgiveness, and the healing power of a second chance.
Celine’s life is spiraling out of control. She’s in danger of losing the beloved equestrian farm that was her childhood home. Her distant husband, Eric, is devoting a suspicious amount of time to a stunning new colleague. Then her young son, Brian, receives a devastating cancer diagnosis. As her life falls apart, she faces an impossible fight.
Felicity has uprooted her career and her teenage son, Justin, to get closer to Eric. She’s tired of keeping his secrets—that Eric’s frequent “business trips” have been time spent with her and Justin. Felicity is determined to get her happily ever after, even if it means confronting Celine at a delicate time.
But when Brian’s prognosis worsens, and a transplant becomes his best chance at survival, Felicity must make a wrenching decision about her son’s well-being—and Celine must accept that the “other woman” is her only hope.
In another life Celine and Felicity might have been friends. Can they put aside the pain between them to do what’s best for their families—and their own futures?

She learns of a heartrending tale of a hidden love and internal tension that reverberates in ways she never would have imagined. The Storyteller’s Secret is a richly imagined novel about love, hardship, resilience and courage. What was the inspiration for the story? I grew up hearing the story of how my maternal grandmother passed away when my mother was two. She was bitten by a mosquito and her community believed that the encephalitis ravaging her body was a demonic possession. Like the protagonist, my grandmother was also tied to a tree and beaten. Her death led to the break down and fracturing of the family that still resonated generations later. It was a truly tragic story. Those who knew her spoke of an incredible woman who was kind and generous to everyone, regardless of their caste, class or gender. Her loss moved me and the woman she was inspired me.
